One thing that has helped me be more emotionally mature is being able to be in touch with my emotions to express them properly. The way that I was able to achieve that is through writing! How you ask? Well, I tell you.... I just did it. To be honest with you there is no real secret to it you just have to do it. 😃 Anytime I felt some type of way I would go into my journal and write. I made a decision to write instead of going to other things to express myself. Now mind you I didn't have access to a lot of things like social media, a lot of friends, and other distractions like most of us have now. However, key point to this is, to learn to write, you have to make a decision to want to write. Dedicate time to write. Instead of picking up your phone to get on social media or play a game write. I guaranteed you it will give you a different type of relief. Try it and see.

I want to know some of the major issues you are facing when it comes to writing. Is the amount of time you feel you must, right? Is it the not knowing what to write about? Is it the consistency of writing? The fear of writing things down and realizing the thoughts are now on paper? Whatever it is I want to know so we can have more of a deeper understanding of how we can help you. I say "We" a lot in this community because we are in this together. I may know some things, but definitely don't know everything so if there are others that can help with sharing insight or knowledge please chime in. Each one teach one is my motto. 😃 So let us know in the comments! As always "I'm constantly praying for y'all."

Got my first LIVE in the bag for my community. Not going to front idk why but I was a little nervous which is weird cause I talk in front of people everyday and I go LIVE on my Tik Tok, but I digress. It went well, but I would like to know from the skoolers how you guys felt first time going LIVE in this community and some pointers to make your sessions run smoothly.

For those who missed it here is the session... You can also do the HW and post your takeaway in the community!

I appreciate everyone who dropped in the LIVE this evening...It was super fun and more to come! Homework: Post 1 sentence of your takeaway from the LIVE... Comment on someone else's post. My Takeaway: I love the fact that the youth that joined participated and shared how they were feeling and plans for the future.
